2 reports of slow pays at Royal

Read it on SBR. One guy waiting 2 weeks for a dime. I know there are a couple on this board that have had no prob with Royal. If I remember right there have been quite a few of these reports.

I received a check from Royal yesterday. It took 17 days. I knew when I made the request it would take at least 7-10 days. I was never worried about getting paid but it is ridiculous for a Fed Ex check to take 17 days. They called me today and offered me a 40% cash bonus if I send them $500. There is an 8X roll over required. I'm going to do it. The next time I make a withdrawl I will use Neteller. I hear they are able to process those payouts much quicker.

These bonus offers I am hearing about from this book would scare me a whole lot more than a slow pay.

I would agree with you. I would not send them more than $500. I have played with Royal for many years and have always been paid. (Not as quickly as most books but none the less they always get me my money.)

The slow pays could be while they wait for more people to take advantage of these bonus offers and basically just use the deposit money to pay winners. That is scary. I have never heard of a book offering up to a 100% bonus when you call in to request your money if you agree to keep it in there. :icon_conf

It would be interesting to see a verifiable account that shows every book has enough money in their bank account to cover all player balances. I don't think there is any chance Royal has that type of money available. Just my opinion though.

It seems a lot of books use the player's money as marketing money even though it is not actually the book's money until the player loses.

Royal is owned by one of the shadiest guys in the industry.

I suggest using neteller with Royal. All of my neteller payouts, each for 4 figures, have been paid within 24 hours. Even when all the sh*t hit the fan they still paid me promptly. I don't approve of the fact that other methods take excessive timeframes, but my experience with them continues to be positive.
